Nino Migliori

Nino Migliori is a leading name in the world of photography, celebrated for his ability to capture extraordinary images and his innovative spirit. His career spans more than seven decades, during which he helped redefine the concept of artistic photography. Through his unique vision, experimentations and passion, Migliori has left an indelible mark on the history of photographic art.

Since 1948, Nino Migliori has been developing some of the most well-articulated and interesting research in European image culture.

From the very beginning of his career, he produced neorealist sequence-narration photographs, as well as original and new experimentations in various materials. Migliori created a body of work linked to the outstanding stylistic manner of that period, Neorealism: a vision of reality based on the supremacy of popular culture with influences of regionalism. His off-camera works have no comparison within the boundaries of the photography world. We can understand them when they are compared with the most advanced side of the informal European style, often conceived earlier than the most famous paintings. His research in the subsequent years includes other materials and techniques such as Polaroids and bleachings. At the end of the sixties, Migliori’s work took on many conceptual aspects, a trend that prevailed in the following years. Experimenter, sensitive explorer, and alternative thinker, his production has always been characterized by great visionary ability, which he infused in his original and brand-new work. New scenarios and seductions occur in his work, where the project becomes compositions, explored territory, and a point of critical reflection. A reflection on the use of photography, on its evidence through the discovery of renewed gestures and contaminations. He is the ideal author to communicate the ways photography is a document that assumes the values and content of art and culture. Today we consider Migliori a true architect of vision. Each of his productions is the result of a precise project on the power of vision, a subject that has characterized all his work throughout his career. His works are held in important private and public collections, among them Mambo, in Bologna; Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, in Torino; CSAC, in Parma; Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Pecci, in Prato; Galleria d’Arte Moderna, in Roma; Calcografia Nazionale, also in Roma; MNAC in Barcelona; Museum of Modern Art in New York; Museum of Fine Arts in Houston; Bibliothèque National in Parigi; Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; Musée Reattu in Arles; SFMOMA in San Francisco, and others.
